Why JRR Tolkien wrote the Lord of the Rings! #shorts #peterjackson #lotr #jrrtolkien #tolkien

Did he ever learn real languages tho

I would love to learn Elvish one day.

Who would not? Love elvish .... ❤

Yaeh, I would really like to take the course ❤

I would take a course on elvish

Elvish is actually not that hard to learn

Yes I would learn elvish

This isn't true.

I'd learn the Black Toungue of Mordor.

Then Amazon came. Butchered it and took a fat dump on it with rings of prime.

Yes. I would.

Like Elvish presley? sure, would be cool

Bro is him

Te greatest mind of all time 😂😂😂😂😂

That is a terrific aspect of writing and lore, Anthony bourgeois of clockwork orange fame was known to create language as well which is why those characters speech was so colorful. I like doing it in music for lyrics, often superimposing irrelevant poetry over a piece can take away from a coherent vision, you can operate closer to the metal so to speak by creating words whose syllables more appropriately match the nuance of the melody and harmony and rhythm, and then retcon a certain meaning over it if one presents itself, it is more honest to allow a song to unfold naturally and be surprised by it than to set out to write a song about all the injustices in the world, or your experience as a jilted lover, or any generic ultimately meaningless topic which could not mean as much as actually sounding good for once

There are a few who can

Wasn't it all started with the line "In a hole in the groung there lived a Hobbit" he wrote on one of his student's white pages?

If I could take a course I would 😍😁 honestly I think I’ll do better in my Elvish classes then I did in both my German & French glasses 🙈

i just remember there is a website that can translate your text into black speech

I would like to learn Sindarin and Quenya. I am interested in dwarvish as well.

Yes, I would!!

That’s the reason why he started creating the legendarium, which he began as a very young man. He wrote lotr specifically because his publisher had begged for years for a sequel to the Hobbit.

I can speak elv-ish

I have an Elvish dictionary and a book with over 800 pages on it 😂❤

I'm learning Scottish, I know someone learning Dathrakie, I'll keep to the dieing language of my ancestors

That dude who makes all the languages for the recent adaptions is an interesting dude. He’s made a lot by now too. Dothraki, Velaryon form GoT, Chakobsa from Dune. Lots more. Wonder if he ever got inspiration from learning about Tolkien and his languages.

I'd fail that class .😂

He was an editor for the Oxford dictionary as well.

I'm not really sure about a course. I lost repect that he stole Blue Suede Shoes from Carl Perkins, but Jail House Rock is ok.

He actually got pushed by others to make lotr. After him writing the hobit as a complication of many different night stories that he told his children

read his letter to his lecturer and the Intro written by his son, Christopher Tolkien in Tolkien's book 'The Silmarillion '- his tales are also a collection of folk tales, poems, fairy tales etc. What about if he just wrote down what our true past is or at least partly(as usual puzzled to make it even more difficult for us to remember who we really are)?

Id learn all of the languages

I 've learned some elvish.
"Ellen silla lu'men omentielvo"
A star shines at our meeting
Greetings from Brasil

Others: Learn a language to write stories in that language.
Tolkien: makes up some stories to invent a language.

I had it all wrong...

I must be a nerd, i knew this lol

When I was a kid I learned how to spell my name in elvish using the appendices to his books. No idea how to say it though😅

he wrote it for his son who was serving in RAF

I would love to learn elvish

Yes, I would take a course on Elvish!

Not only that, Tolkien also used different styles to seperate characters and people.
Saruman and Sauron use language similar to dictators and the dwarfs often use language similar to intellectual people of previous centuries.

Fun fact: the sentence Tolkien writes is Elen sila lumemn omentielvo what means a star stands over the hour of our meating

How many words did he make

I would love to learn elvish

I learned a bit of mandalorian when the books were canon.

YES I WOULD🔥🔥😍

Ig Tolkien wanted some random story as an outlet for his language but ended up writing one of the most awsome masterpiece

See English man

Was his IQ ever tested? I'm curious how high it is
